Never before has the history of Rome been thought of and told in this way, through the use of data visualization and computer graphics. Fueled by the erudition of John Scheid, member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres, and exquisitely set to music by Nicolas Guillerat, this book offers all audiences, with reading levels adapted to each, a dive into ancient Rome, from the birth of the Empire to the Punic Wars, from the Roman political system to the economy of the Urbs. In a rigorous historical approach and drawing on the best international sources, but with a constant concern for clarity, the authors offer a book that is unique in the world, as important for the mass of data it brings together as for its exceptional graphic design. History, through computer graphics, is thus offered a new mode of narration capable of seducing readers of all ages and backgrounds.
